Chapter 41: Event in Progress

The water flow control at LV4 is not what Kevin expected.

Originally Kevin thought that the water flow control at LV3 was already very powerful as long as it could control water within a radius of five meters.

Even if LV4 is improved, the improvement should not be very large.

But what Kevin did not expect was that the water flow control at LV4 was a qualitative change compared to LV3!

The first and most important point is the control range.

Originally Kevin could control water sources within a radius of five meters, but at LV4 it suddenly increased to a radius of fifty meters!

And both the quality and precision of the control have been greatly improved, even some liquids with impurities can be finely controlled!

Although the water flow control at LV3 can also control liquids with impurities, such as blood, Kevin can only condense it into a ball and then hit people.

Now, Kevin can control liquids such as blood to perform more detailed operations, such as the operation of condensing water into a key at LV3, which Kevin can also do with blood in the future.

It's just not as accurate as water flow.

Just one level increase has brought about such a huge change. Kevin feels that his skill points are not wasted.

"But is there something wrong with your increase? Where is your level setting? Magical Index?"

Looking at his LV4 water flow control, Kevin couldn't help but complain in his heart.

Originally, Kevin thought that his level setting should be similar to that of American comics such as Marvel and DC. Level 5 is the peak of mortals, and level 7 is a being stronger than God.

In the end, this level setting is similar to the level setting of superpowers in the anime "Magic Index". LV4 is a strategic level ability. When it reaches LV5, it can be upgraded to the world-destroying level in an instant?

LV6 is directly a demon god?

No... no matter how you say it, it can't be so outrageous...

If that's the case, then Kevin's cheat code is really big, after all, the skills in Kevin's skill tree are not just water flow control.

Let's not talk about the level issue for now. Anyway, even if Kevin wants to verify his conjecture, he doesn't have so many skill points.

After clicking on the water flow control skill, Kevin only had two skill points left.

Kevin still didn't use the two skill points. He planned to try to change his job after accumulating all the skill points, or try to accumulate skill points and upgrade a skill to LV5 first.

With the LV4 level of water flow control, Kevin's many operations that only existed in his mind have a place to use.

He can do more things in the water-filled sea.

Especially something he has been waiting for a long time.

By the way, the hijacking incident should have happened in these few days, right?

Kevin remembered that the hijacking incident happened before the Faith Expo in Ezekiel. Now it is less than a week away from that Faith Expo. If you calculate carefully, the hijacking incident should have happened in these few days.

Kevin was estimating the time when Ashley suddenly came over with a phone:

"Deep Sea, it's Xingguang's phone. She seems to have something to tell you."

"Well, bring it here."

Kevin gestured to Ashley to bring the phone. After Ashley left again, Kevin asked the other end of the phone:

"Xingguang, what's wrong?"

"Didn't you ask me to keep an eye on Homelander and Maeve? Just now, I saw them rushing out in a hurry..."

"You mean just now?"

Kevin instantly became alert.

Because he was not sure if he could get to the hijacking scene in time, Kevin specifically entrusted Xingguang, who was still in the company, to pay attention to Maeve and Homelander's movements.

Once the two had a joint action that was not arranged by the company, Xingguang would call to inform him.

Xingguang didn't understand why Kevin asked her to do this, but now Kevin was one of the few people Xingguang trusted, so she would not ask why, but would only do what Kevin said.

When Kevin heard the message from Xingguang, he knew that the hijacking would happen today.

Thinking of this, Kevin quickly got up and asked Ashley for leave to leave the set, and took the seven-man team-exclusive satellite phone provided by the Vought Group and headed straight for the nearest sea.

At the same time, he contacted Starlight again and asked her to find a way to go to the crime analysis department to locate Maeve and Homelander.

After doing all this, Kevin quickly rushed to the current location of Maeve and Homelander.

…

Maeve no longer dreamed of becoming a hero a long time ago.

After she graduated and started working at the Vought Group, she saw the darkness inside the Vought Group, and after she fought the criminal for the first time and found that the criminal was an actor.

Maeve was completely disappointed with the hero industry.

But unlike Starlight who dared to fight, Maeve chose to give up, and became part of the interests of the Vought Group by going along with the people of the Vought Group.

Although the word "going along with the crowd" sounds a bit unpleasant, Maeve thinks that this word is right.

Turning a blind eye to the internal affairs of the Vought Group, the so-called hero work has become a daily publicity on the screen.

With cameras and interviews, Maeve is more motivated than anyone else.

But once she is out of the camera and out of the arrangement of the Vought Group, she will do nothing and turn a blind eye to everything.

Since accepting the status quo, she has been like this every day.

Maeve thought she would always be like this, drifting with the flow, until she quit the Seven, was no longer liked by the people of Homeland, disappeared from the public eye, and then lived the life she wanted.

If her life did not change much and continued to develop along this route, it would probably be like this.

But the accident came faster and more suddenly than she thought.

This morning, Madeline received a secret call from the government, telling her that a passenger plane was hijacked by terrorists.

And Madeline has been busy with the plan of [Superheroes entering the Ministry of Defense] recently, and she knows this is an opportunity.

If Homelander and Queen Maeve can save everyone on the plane before Interpol, then no one will stop Madeline's plan.

This is a great opportunity.

Maeve listened to the conversation between Madeline and Homelander, and knew in her heart that this would be another superhero show of the Vought Group, and she was even less interested in this rescue.

She and Homelander only need to do two things at that time.

First, get on the plane and eliminate the robbers, and second, bring the passengers back to the shore safely.

As for how to promote it later, that is the Vought Group's own business. Maeve and Homelander only need to make some speeches to the camera and pose a few times like athletes going on stage to receive awards, and this work will be over.

It should have been like this...

From entering the plane to the middle of the flight, everything was actually quite smooth.

Homelander and Maeve killed the two robbers in the cabin, and then found another robber in the cockpit. It stands to reason that if they killed that robber as well, the two would have successfully completed their mission this time.

But an accident happened here.

Homelander didn't hold back when he killed people. When he looked down with a hot gaze, not only was the robber cut in half, but even the control console behind the robber was destroyed by him.

The plane's control console was damaged and the plane could not be controlled. Now the whole plane was sliding and falling towards the sea below!

Maeve could have turned a blind eye to all this. After so many years in the Vought Group, she had already felt her heart turn cold.

But when she saw the passengers on the plane and the young girl holding the doll, Maeve felt that she couldn't leave them alone.

But what could they do? Homelander was not Superman. He couldn't carry the plane down, and after the mission failed, they couldn't let others know what happened on the plane.

Maeve tried to leave with only one child. Even if she only saved one child, she could feel at ease.

But Homelander didn't think so.

Even if they only left with one child, the child would tell them about the things they had turned a blind eye to all the passengers on the plane.

This was fatal to their future, especially Homelander's future.

Homelander didn't plan to save people. He felt that their mission had been completed and they shouldn't stay here any longer.

Maeve struggled internally. She knew that Homelander was right, but... even if it was just one person, she wanted to save people.

Maeve really couldn't watch so many people die here.

So when Homelander was about to leave, Maeve thought of someone.

Deep Sea.

When Maeve chatted with Starlight these days, Starlight mentioned that Deep Sea had the power to control the sea. Although she didn't know when he had this power, at this moment, Maeve seemed to have no choice but to believe him.

So, Maeve used the satellite phone that the Water Group had equipped them with to call Deep Sea.
